Your experiences

We often hear from vegans who have had poor experiences accessing suitable plant-based food in places like schools and hospitals. We do our best to support them by offering advice and information. These experiences help add weight to our campaign and make what we are asking for more personal and urgent.

We have compiled advice for caterers, campaigners, councillors, teachers, health professionals, patients and other groups who have involvement with vegan provision in the public sector. These are broken down by institution, with advice relating to. We’ve also compiled letters for service users of institutions to explain their rights as vegans.

These steps will take you through the process of asking your local councillors to improve the availability of vegan options on public sector menus

Step 1

First, please type your postcode into the following box. This will show you how your local council was ranked (red, amber or green) in terms of how well it caters for, and includes, vegans. It will also show you the response The Vegan Society received from your local council. This response was used to grade each council.

Get Vegan Food On The Menu

Despite the UK’s established and growing vegan community, we continue to face challenges in accessing healthy and nutritious food, with some public sector menus failing to consistently include a single vegan option.
